  • TalkingLogBook (TLB)

    This is the official website of Steve Gradijan, WB5KIA who wrote the TalkingLogBook (TLB). The development of the TalkingLogBook (TLB) software was driven by a need for a logbook program suitable for blind users.  TLB uses the artificial speech synthesis capabilities of Windows PCs to assist the visually impaired with logging and basic rig control. In the spirit of amateur radio cooperation and advancement of the state of the art, TLB is offered as freeware. Steve would like to hear from users, since TLB is always getting better and user comments are a vital part of the development process.  You can contact him through his website, where you can also download TLB.  The setup file size is under 2 MB. If you cannot download, a CD version is available for a small copying and postage fee.
